We spend decades learning about knowledge and skills to become a player in the economic structure, to earn a living, yet we neglect the one most fundamental area - how to live. When we talk about how to live, we’re not just thinking about getting a job to support yourself, getting social recognition/approval or developing a certain lifestyle. How do we live in this physical world as an eternal being experiencing temporary human life? How do we handle thoughts and emotions? How do we live happily instead of suffering until death releases us?

The ultimate goal of everything we do is to be happy in life. It could be as simple as enjoying a succulent meal or it could be as grandiose as changing the world. One may seem more noble than the other according to the society’s opinion but the motivation behind both actions is the same - we want to feel happy. If everything we do is to be happy in life, why are we still so unhappy 90% of the time? Why isn’t being happy the constant state of being for us? Instead, so many people suffer from anxiety, fear and depression.
